10 Wolverine

Logan's adamantium claws aren't just for show

• Class: Duelist
• Difficulty: 3/5
• First appearance: Incredible Hulk #180

Wolverine is the best at what he does and what he does is not very good. Logan is armed with his iconic adamantium blade which he uses to slash anything in sight with both basic attacks and special abilities, allowing him to quickly deplete the health of heavy characters, especially when his Berserker Rage is activated.

Thanks to his healing factor, Wolverine is also one of the few characters who can heal himself without the help of a strategist character.

Penny Parker also has a team-up ability with Venom that allows her to remove a symbiote barrier that damages nearby enemies.

8 poison

Storm and strike with symbiotic power

• Class: Vanguard
• Difficulty: 3/5
• First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #300

It's easy to suspect that a monster as large as Venom would make a lumbering attack like its claws or swing its tendrils. Instead, Venom consists of four tendrils that attack at once, almost like a four-round burst weapon, and they already do a lot of damage.

The tendrils are especially deadly if Venom uses his cellular percussion to slow down his enemies, leaving them unable to escape his attacks. On top of that, Venom can swing quickly through different maps, making him good for flanking and escaping when needed, but he can also follow up his swings with an explosive Symbiote Strike, good for surprise attacks.

• Difficulty: 1/5
• First appearance: X-Men #4

If a player doesn't want to worry about precision, The Scarlet Witch There for them because his main attack tracks down the opponent and drains the life out of them using chaos magic.

Like the Scarlet Witch, Cloak drains life from the enemy and her attacks are just as effective. Additionally, he can use his powers of darkness to stun and blind enemies. His ability practically turns Cloak and Dagger into a fusion of Strategist and Duelist, which can lead to frustrating matches for the enemy team.

• Difficulty: 3/5
• First appearance: Werewolf By Night #32

Moon Night Already armed with crescent darts he can throw three at a time and that alone makes him effective in any fight, especially if he combines them with his gliding ability. However, what makes Moon Knight particularly dangerous are his eyes, which are turret traps that attack anyone within range.

If the Moon Knight combines his eyes, crescent darts, and his ultimate attack, which summons Khonshu to strike down his enemies, very few stand a chance. It also helps that Moon Knight is one of the fastest moving characters, so he can disappear and appear from behind or behind to deal damage, risking low health as a duelist.
